Liverpool are reportedly keeping tabs on Paris Saint-Germain's young striker Hugo Ekitike as uncertainty surrounds Darwin Nunez's position at the club. The Reds may be forced to explore attacking options if Nunez departs this summer.
Ekitike Emerges as Liverpool Target
The 21-year-old French forward, currently on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt from PSG, has caught the attention of Liverpool's recruitment team. Despite limited playing time in Germany, Ekitike's potential remains highly regarded across Europe.
Nunez's Anfield Future in Doubt
Darwin Nunez's recent social media activity, where he deleted all Liverpool-related posts, has fueled speculation about his future. The Uruguayan striker's inconsistent form has led to questions about his long-term role in Jurgen Klopp's squad.
PSG Open to Ekitike Departure
PSG are believed to be willing to sell Ekitike, who has struggled to establish himself in the French capital. The Ligue 1 champions value the player at around £25 million, potentially making him an affordable option for Liverpool.
What Ekitike Could Bring to Liverpool
- Pace and technical ability suited to Liverpool's high-pressing style
- Versatility to play across the front line
- Potential resale value given his age and room for development
While no formal approach has been made, Liverpool's interest appears genuine as they prepare for potential squad changes this summer. The coming weeks could prove crucial in determining both Nunez and Ekitike's futures.
